Performance? Slaton is the same age as Chris O. Chris O. has 69 total yards in two seasons. Chris O. can't even average 4 yards per carry through preseason. A guy that can't even get 100 yards in two seasons is a better player than Slaton? Some major injury problems won't make me give up on a guy that was the 6th best runner his rookie year in favor of a guy of the same age that has only 69 yards to his name in two seasons.

Steve? Is that you? welcome to the board.

But seriously, going on performance in this decade it's edge ogbonoya.

Have you seen any practices? I did and Slaton looked like he was back to his old self at practice. Then he strained the hammy.

I also watched Chris O at practice. He is a solid practice squad guy. He is not as quick through the hole when he was against the 2s. When he played against the the guys that are now on the street he looked decent. He is not ahead of Slaton right now based on talent and knowledge of the playbook. Slaton is worth a flyer on while Foster is on the shelf.

I'll take your word on practices. But part of playing in the NFL is playing. The hammy is the latest in years without being healthy. But I hope he proves me completely wrong. I'd love to see the old slaton.

Either way, there's no way this guy sees the field, unless Foster is out, Ward goes down, and then Tate goes down. While Slaton may have shown "flashes" in camp, who's he gonna take carries away from? That's my biggest problem with keeping him. Just a plain ole "Why?".
He doesn't seem to serve a purpose to me at all.
